Elevator Control - Mercury (SCP) Hardware
SCP Elevator Control Setup Guide
This section explains how to setup Elevator Control when using Mercury SCP hardware. This specific example uses an EP-1502 and an SCP-OCM (MR16-OUT) - allowing you to control up to 18 floors.
Elevator Control is a licensed feature and therefore must be purchased and enabled in your license.
This setup procedure assumes you have already installed the software with the SCP Gateway and you already have an SCP controller and SCP output module online and ready to configure.
Add a Facility
- From within the software, click on Setup >> Hardware Setup >> All.
- Highlight Facilities in the hardware tree.
- Click the Add Facility icon.
- Highlight the new facility then give it a new description.
- Specify how many floors the facility will have.
Configure the SPM and OCM
- With Advanced View enabled, select the SPM (EP-1502) and in the properties change the controller function from Normal to Elevator Control – by doing this you will no longer be able to use the second reader on the Onboard DDM.
- In the Elevator Control properties section, select the drop down for the facility and select which floors will be applied to this SCP controller.
- In the Floor Map setting place a check mark against all the floors the controller ill be servicing.
- The correct floor count will then automatically be set.
- You will then be prompted to reset the controller. Click yes to the prompt then wait for it to come back online.
- Highlight the Onboard DDM and in the properties locate the Elevator Control section.
- Set the Onboard DDM to continue the elevator outputs on to the OCM (MR16OUT) panel.
- Highlight reader 1 on the Onboard DDM and change the function to “Elevator, No Floor Select”. Rename reader 2 to NOT USABLE (changing the panel to elevator control disables the second reader).
- Change your outputs on the onboard DDM to Elevator Outputs and select the Elevator Reader to associate with those outputs.
- Change all the outputs on the OCM to elevator outputs and select the same reader. (Remember to save your settings).
